You all know that Sonicbids is the leading place for bands to book gigs online. You all know that country music is the most popular genre in the country. For real though, a recent study shows that Country has surpassed Classic Rock as America’s favorite genre.  A staggering 28% of all people surveyed preferred Country to anything else. Chances are, if you’re hanging out with a bunch of people, several of them love Country (and only half of one person’s arm is into Acid Death Jazz.)
